6970 or 6990 or something else

I'm waiting for reviews of the 6970. If it's really good, I'll get one. Otherwise, cash is going on SSDs.
 
If the 580 is out by Xmas, and I mean available to buy, I'll look at reviews and decide between 6970\580, whichever is better value for money. But if the 6870\470 price war kicks in I may be tempted by a crazy price as I've no card to game with just now and I have Fallout NV in front of me.:eek:

just get a 470 soon as the prices will probably continue to fall due to the 6870 :) hope ive helped

Also: yay 250 posts :)
 
Seems like a lot of people are assuming this 580 is going to available in substantial numbers and actually affordable by people who aren't millionaires, and is actually going to out quite some time before AMD's 7*** series and will actually have a decent enough price/performance ratio to make it viable. Are people just taking the ****?

Well the 580, if available and I have my doubts it will be, will have to be competitive, price wise, with the 6970, otherwise epic fail.:D
 
Depends on the price of the cards etc but i just got a ssd and im super happy with it and my 4870x2 is fine atm so maybe i wait.
